Dear Kmelliot,
I could only give you official information, and even there - given the
pricing of your question - not more than general one. The Department
of Homeland Security mentions several responses to biological attacks:
Project BioShield
<http://www.whitehouse.gov/bioshield/>
DHS - Response and Information on health Hazards
<http://www.dhs.gov/dhspublic/display?theme=34>
In addition, one could only assume that the country employs many
intelligence techniques in order to prevent biological attacks, as
well as dimplomatic or military ones, in cases of countries possessing
such weapons.
